They're Tito and the Burrito. <br /><br />I actually have an issue of a comic with them in it, buried somewhere in my own VAOS, but I couldn't quite call the names to mind.

I just don't the current attraction to non-stop gore, violence and mayhem, drawn out issue after issue. I guess I'm going to have to be content to reading 50 or so years of back issue comics, where each issue has the potential to bring something else to the table.<br /><br />Unfortunately, a lot of the blame for this can be thrown right back at Mr. Miller.
